Pilates DYNA-BAND® workout exercises
All exercises are to be performed slowly and with control paying particular attention to the breathing pattern.

Upper body-Arms, back and shoulders

Come down onto your knees, kneeling down on top of your DYNA-BAND. Cross the band over in front of you and take hold of the ends of the band in each hand. Take your left hand by your side and your right hand on your left hip. Inhale as you lift your right elbow like you are drawing a sword then exhale as you extend your arm out diagonally. Inhale as you lower the fore arm back down. And exhale as you lower the elbow. Repeat 4-6 times then swap sides so that your right arm is by your side and you are extending your left.

Core muscles, stomach

Start by sitting on the floor and place the balls of your feet into the centre of the DYNA-BAND®. Lay down on your back with your knees in the air above your hips. Wrap the band around your hands for added security, and keep your elbows into your sides. Inhale as you extend your legs pushing your feet away from you (hold for 2 seconds) then exhale and draw your feet back in with control so that your knees are bent. Repeat 4-6 times then repeat with increased intensity by raising your head and shoulders slightly off of the floor.

Fold the band in half and extend your legs out to a forty five degree angle. Lift your head and shoulders off of the floor reach your arms to your knees and pump your arms. Breathe in for five beats, and out for five. Repeat 4-6 times with out placing your head and shoulders back on the floor between sets.

Leg and hips

Lie on your right side and wrap the DYNA-BAND® around the arch of your left foot. Hold both ends of the band in your left hand, with your palm facing down. Either rest your head on your right arm, or prop yourself on your hand. Inhale as you lift your left leg up to the side and exhale as you flex the foot, drawing it back down. Repeat 4-6 times then swap sides and repeat with the right leg.
